We notice that the popularity of Big Bags (bulk bag, FIBC, jumbo bag) is steadily growing. This is not surprising, given their remarkable versatility: FIBC bags can be used in many different ways and can carry a load weighing thousands of times more than their own weight, up to 2500 kg. At MADI, we understand perfectly how important it is for our customers to use Big Bags properly, to ensure safe transport, loading and unloading. To fully leverage the benefits of big bags, our experts have prepared the following tips:

  1. Choose the right type of Big Bag for your needs. There are many different types and sizes of Big Bags, tailored to different applications. Consult with our experts to choose the bags that best meet your specific requirements.
  2. Ensure proper protection of the bag from damage. Make sure that Big Bags are stored under appropriate conditions to avoid damage, such as abrasion or tearing. Also remember to protect bags from weather conditions, such as rain or UV radiation.
  3. Adhere to the maximum load of the Big Bag. Each Big Bag has a specified maximum load that should not be exceeded. Overloading the bag can lead to its damage and endanger people and property.
  4. Secure the bags properly during transport. Make sure that the bags are properly fastened and secured during transport to avoid their shifting or falling, which can lead to damage or accidents.
  5. Follow safety regulations. Observe all applicable regulations and standards regarding the transport and storage of Big Bags. Make sure that appropriately trained personnel are aware of safety procedures and know how to handle bags properly.
  6. Conduct regular inspections of the condition of Big Bags. Regularly check bags for damage, abrasion or other signs of wear. Damaged bags should be immediately replaced to avoid risk.

By following the above tips, you will be able to fully utilize the potential of Big Bags and ensure the safe transport and storage of your goods. If you have any questions or doubts, our experts are ready to assist you and provide necessary information.

  • Please carefully read the operating instructions on the safety label.
  • Make sure the BIG BAG is stable.
  • Before filling, make sure the unloading mechanism is closed.
  • Make sure not to exceed the allowable mass of BIG BAG filling.
  • Ensure that the BIG BAG filling system is closed after filling.
  • Ensure that the fork width of the forklift matches the width of the BIG BAG.
  • When lifting the BIG BAG, make sure the hooks are set to the correct dimensions.
  • Always ground the antistatic BIG BAG type C before filling.
  • Protect BIG BAG from rain and sunlight to ensure optimal lifespan.
  • Never fill more than the safe working load (SWL) to avoid safety hazards.
  • Never fill BIG BAG unevenly.
  • Never make unexpected sudden stops during transport.
  • Never allow people to walk under the BIG BAG.
  • Never stack BIG BAG if the substrate is unstable.
  • Never use forklifts, etc. with insufficient lifting capacity.
  • Never reuse a single-use BIG BAG.

How to store empty BIG BAGs?

The best way to store FIBC is clean and covered. This way, the FIBC is kept in an undamaged condition and protected from extreme climate changes and/or too much sunlight.

How to fill a BIG BAG?

FIBC is best filled by placing it on the ground or on a pallet, while the filling mechanism holds the loops. Remember that in some cases the bag must be grounded before filling.

How to unload a BIG BAG?

Typically, BIG BAGs are unloaded gravitationally; in some situations, suction is used. Bags with a special discharge hole can be used to control the emptying process. If the bag does not have a discharge spout, the bottom of the BIG BAG is often cut. The unloading process can be stopped by lowering the bag onto the unloaded product. It is very important to exercise extreme caution during this process and make sure no one stands under the BIG BAG at the unloading location. MADI offers a range of unloading systems for your production process.

How to optimize the stability of BIG BAG?

To fill the BIG BAG in the most effective way, make sure the width-to-diameter ratio does not exceed 2:1. To improve product stability, a vibration mechanism is often used during filling.

How to lift a BIG BAG?

When lifting a BIG BAG, it is important to be directly in front of the BIG BAG and to be able to easily place the forks of the forklift in the loops or tunnel loops. When lifting, make sure all loops are set vertically and are not twisted, and the fork has no sharp edges that could damage the BIG BAG or cut the loop.

Handling a forklift with BIG BAG.

Make sure the filled BIG BAG is always kept low above the ground when driving a forklift. If the filled BIG BAG is kept too high above the ground, the forklift is less stable and the risk of an accident increases.

Handling BIG BAG with cranes.

Make sure the crane hooks do not have sharp edges that could damage the bag or lifting structure. If possible, it is important to use protective materials. MADI recommends using special safety hooks, thanks to which the risk of the bag unexpectedly tearing from the hooks is minimal. When the bag is lifted, the loops must be set vertically. Loops that are twisted, tied, or not set vertically pose a safety risk.

Lifting a BIG BAG.

BIG BAG lifting handles are designed in such a way that all lifting loops must be used at the same time. BIG BAG is specially designed so that the entire weight is evenly distributed to all lifting loops.

How to store filled BIG BAGs?

There are many ways to store BIG BAGs. Depending on the material, users may choose to place bags in racks (with or without pallets) or stack BIG BAGs. Make sure that the BIG BAG is properly arranged and that the BIG BAG is certified for the height you want to maintain. Our BIG BAG experts can advise you on this, keeping in mind current safety standards.
